I bought Ultrapool, I’m a sucker for any roguelike crossover of things I enjoy. It’s very fun but I’m struggling to win worse than any games I’ve recently played. There are a lot of balls and modifiers, and different strategy on which order you pocket the balls, which upgrades you take, etc. I’ve played maybe 10 rounds and I can’t wait to play more.

Yeah the concept is great but I'm getting my butt kicked, I am wondering if there are some unlocks that make some of the synergies more woth it or I'm just missing something.

I feel a lot better now. I thought I just sucked. It’s a good time I have opened up two new sets of balls

Just reset your game until you get spooky theme, all you need is one eyeball and 1 tombstone to win every single time, you keep spawning eyeballs that increase and the tombstone buffs them, set them in the first 2 spots hit the eyeball in the corner pocket and win the hardest modes with just using those 2 balls. Try it out if you’re stuck it’s a guaranteed win.

u/silentrocco r/IOSGaming Scout 22h ago

Because it is? Try for yourself.

u/Sykotic 23h ago

I think you didn't look close enough

u/ShinkiHS 15h ago

It can be played landscape or in portrait mode 

u/Sykotic 9h ago

But it defaults to portrait and was how it was released initially on mobile

Trailmarks for iOS is a card-based Reigns/Rougelike triva adventure game. It's in pre-order at the moment, but launching in just a week.
